Susie Sussex reads Sea Fever


I must go down to the seas again
to the lonely sea and the sky

What are you doing Susie

Reading a poem by John Masefield

Which one

Sea Fever

He was related to Stephen

Stephen

Stephen Masefield my predecessor

I thought that was your pseudonym

No he was a real person

Does he still write

No he was killed in a car crash aged only nineteen

Was his poetry any good

It was better than mine

Battle is such a lovely town

I agree

After we have completed our visit

Shall we go to the sea

As I would like to swim

Before I return home
